Reliability issues again: I built several pairs with knowles GV drivers, all of them broke after a few weeks of use. Out of 6 GV (3 pairs) I bought only two are still working.
It’s always the bass that breaks. On 3 of them, the bass driver just went silent, one of them the bass started to make a snaring sound.
I use them with open vents.
What could be the problem, I‘m like burning money? Did any of you use the knowles GV without issues over a longer period of time?
Noticed the same problem with my builds. Lows starting to snare and die after a few weeks. What „glue“ do you use for the tubes? Also use it with vents open, but only tape side.
The crazy thing is, sometimes the bass starts working again...
So it must be an electronics issue?
Its better you get them as different driver, understand the crossover of GV
and then make it yourself
This way, you can use good quality caps and resistor, and debug them as you want
The only fixed driver i support is GQ, SWFK, TWFK, DWFK
the driver with single nozzle
my experience with them was way better than
GV, GK, HE versions
i too broke one GV
Bass rattling problems
it happens when the driver is pressurized due to something
it can be damper, it can be uncontrolled driver electrical damping
it can be anything
And this always happen when signal is too powerful and driver aint that tight in some factors
the pressurized air inside BA hits the diaphragm, making it bend unwanted, causing it to rattle
Compression Horn speaker also has this issue
